A World Class Recovery Drink

Just ask Floyd: This stuff is so powerful it makes DNA doping look low tech.

During the 2006 Tour de France doping scandal involving Floyd Landis, I blogged about how it’s common knowledge that Jack Daniels is a performance enhancing drug. I’ve been on the lookout for custom formulations for recreational athletes ever since. I mean, who amongst us wouldn’t want at least a sample of whatever was flowing through Floyd’s body during his amazing Stage 17 victory.

Finally I found the magic elixir, in of all places, Gaylord Opryland in Nashville. Here, in the Jack Daniel’s Saloon, the dessert menu includes the Jack Daniel’s Coke Float: Jack Daniel’s, Island Oasis Ice Cream, Coke.

Fill my water bottles, please.
